T all LU/wm t may Concern.'

Be it known that I, YVILLIAM G. Nnw'roN, a citizen of the United States,residing; at New I-Iaven, in the county of New Haven and State ofConnecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement inLavatory-Basin Faucets; and I do hereby decla-re the following, whentaken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters ofreference marked thereon, to be full, clear, and exact description ofthe same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application,and represent in Fig. 1, a top or plan view of a faucet conA structed inaccordance with my invention.

This invention relates to improvement in lavatory-basin fixtures, andespecially for fixtures for hotel use. A common form of iixture includesa. centrally-arranged faucet through which eitherY hot or cold water isvdischarged and through which faucet lthe waste-operating stem is moved.In addition to hot and cold water, it is desirable to provide ice water,and this has been done by means of a separatelyarranged faucet, which.necessitates the formation of an additional hole in the wall adjacentthereto. The object of this invention is to provide fory a supply of icewater, as well as hot and cold water, all delivered through the samefaucet. and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafterdescribed and particularly recited in the claims.

In carrying out my invention, I employ a faucet 5 of prefered design,which is formed with a transverse partition 6 dividing` the faucet intoan upper chamber 7 and a lower chamber 8. The lower chamber is connectedwith an externally-threaded` sleeve 9, which extends down through thebasin. Connected with the lower wall of the upper chamber is a pipe 10opening into the upper chamber, and extending through this pipe 10 is atube 11 through which the waste-operating spindle 12 extends, thisspindle being provided with the usual handle 18. Opening out of the topof the chamber 7 is a nec-k 14- muntne a rush-buitendeur 152 vluvhcloses a port 16 in the chamber T, this valve being of usualconstruction and operated by l providing` the valve-spindle 17 .vith apushbutton 18. Het and cold water are admitter through a coupling 19having slip-joint connection with the lower end of the sleeve 9 and heldin place by a tapered plug 2O supported by a nut 21 turned onto theexternally-threaded lower end of the pipe 10. The ends of the couplingare respectively connected with hot and cold water pipes, the waterfro-m either passing upward into the lower chamber 8. Secured to thelower end of the pipe 10 is a coupling- 22, which is screwed up againstthe nut 21, and preferably a washer 23 will be inserted in the upperface of the coupling 22, to bear against an annular lip 24 on the lowerface of the nut 21. The lower end. of the cou,- pling 22 is closed by aplug 25 held in place by a nut 26 screwed ontol the lower end of thetube 11.

The coupling 22 is connected with an ice water supply pipe, and icewater will pass upward between the pipe 10 and tube 11 and into theupper chamber of the faucet, so that, when the valve is opened ordepressed, the ice water will be discharged through the mouth of thefaucet.

I thus provide, in a very simple way, a faucet for the supply of hot orcold water and ice water and in a fixture adapted to be applied tolavatory basins of ordinary construction.

I claim:

1. A faucet formed with a single outlet and with a transverse partitionin said outlet, providing an upper and a lower chamber, and a valve inthe upper chamber and controlling the passage through it.

2. A faucet formed with a single outlet and with a transverse partitionin said outlet, providing an upper and a lower chamber, a supply pipeopening` into the lower chamber, and a supply pipe opening into theupper chamber, a tubular neck opening out of the top of the upperchamber, a valve mounted in said neck, said valve adapted to close thepassage through said upper chamber.

3. A faucethaving a transverse partit-ion, providing` an upper and alower chamber, said lower chamber connected with a sleeve, the upperchamber connected with a pipe extending downward through Said Support `atube connected With the 'fa-neet and conl0 passage therethrough.

4. A faucet formed with a single outlet and with a. transverse partitionin Said outlet7 providing :1n upper and a lower chumber independent ofeuch other, and a valve in the upper 'chamber and controlling'thepassage through it.

In testimony uf'hereof, I have signed this Specification.
